Crafted for Balance, Built for the Hunt
The SX Plantation’s side-by-side layout places more mass along the centerline, helping the gun mount naturally and track cleanly on fast-moving birds. The 28-inch barrels strike a sweet spot—long enough to smooth your swing without feeling nose-heavy. The double-trigger system lets you select barrels on the fly, giving immediate choke/load choice without a selector to manipulate under pressure.
Color Case Hardening: Beauty with Purpose
The color case hardened receiver isn’t just eye-catching—it’s a traditional thermochemical treatment that creates a hard, wear-resistant surface. The mottled blues, grays, and straws complement the deep luster of the oil-finished Turkish walnut, elevating the shotgun from tool to treasured field companion.
Turkish Walnut, Oil-Finished for Life in the Field
Dickinson starts with select Turkish walnut—prized for its density and dramatic grain. The hand-rubbed oil finish penetrates the fibers, enhancing figure while offering field-ready protection. It’s easily renewed season after season with a light rub of oil, keeping the stock looking sharp after miles of brush and bramble.
Double Triggers: Instant, Mechanical Barrel Control
For upland scenarios where split seconds matter, double triggers are the simplest, most reliable way to choose your barrel. Need a more open choke for the flush? Front trigger. Bird arcs out farther than expected? Roll to the rear trigger for the tighter barrel. No switches, no hesitation—just direct, mechanical control.
